"The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise who would care? " -VM Varga (Fargo Season 3)
@dj2becker saidAlternatively;
"The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise who would care? " -VM Varga (Fargo Season 3)
@dj2becker saidNotions of good and evil are functions of cultures and communities and they are also internalized by individuals and form the basis for their moral compasses.

@fmf saidUpon what premise do you base that assertion?

@divegeester saidEven as convoluted as the quote in the OP is, your reply is even more bizarre.
Alternatively;
The solution is not that there is good in the world, the solution is that there is evil. Because otherwise who would know?

"The solution is that there is evil."? You must be confused.
@secondson saidThe premise that is laid out in the text in my post that you omitted.
Upon what premise do you base that assertion?
@secondson saidIf you find the OP convoluted then it comes as no surprise that you lack the depth of comprehension to understand my reply to it.

@divegeester saidMaybe I don't understand your reply. Perhaps you can deepen my comprehension and explain how your reply to the otherwise deceptive nature of Varga's assertion that evil isn't the problem, but that good is, and how your reply doesn't further add to the confusion.

@secondson saidHave you tackled dj2becker, the OP poster, about it?
"The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good."
Sound reasoning would state, "the problem is that there is evil in the world, the solution to the problem of evil is that there is good."
"Good" overcomes evil. "Good" is never a "problem". The grammatical construct of Varga's quote undermines rational and logical thought relative ...[text shortened]... . You think it's coming at you along a certain trajectory, but at the end it slips right passed you.
@secondson saidI think in Varga’s case good was a problem to him because he had evil tendencies.

@secondson saidMy reply is a self evident and self explanatory juxtaposition to the somewhat shallow premise in the OP and exposes it as such.

@dj2becker saidConsidering his thought process with regards to good and evil there's no doubt.
